Fox in a Vest ~ New Pattern!

Hi, Knitters,

I have a new pattern that will be available in print format from Unicorn Books and Crafts available in your local yarn shops in June 2014. If you don't see the printed pattern in your local yarn shop just ask the owner about it. The shop can easily order it for you through Unicorn.

The pattern will be available for download in my Ravelry pattern shop in November 2014. I am really excited about Fox in a Vest and I hope you will be, too.

Unicorn Books and Crafts is the distributor of the Opal yarns, which of course are at the top of my favorite sock yarns. I have done several toys in Opal for Unicorn. The other two are the Opal Sock Yarn Bunny and the Little Dragon.

Poly-pellets (optional and considered a choking hazard for
young children and infants)

Safety eyes, 4.5 mm (optional, the eyes could be
embroidered)

Black embroidery floss

The Fox in a Vest is knit from the top-down seamlessly and all in one-piece. It is a knitting adventure! The only stitching up is to whipstitch the front and back of the ear after they are picked up and about an inch on the top of the foot after it is picked up.

Here are a few more in progress photos:

I don't have a photo of the fox tail and as soon as I get my sample back I will take some tail photos to post on the project page.

The pattern is one of my favorites and I think you will really enjoy knitting a fox of your own. Your sock yarn leftovers can be put to good use!

Hi Susan, The fox is adorable. Is that Duplicate Stitch a the top of his forehead?

I'm writing today to request another review of you favorite Etsy shops for project bags/knitting accessories/etc.---believe you did this once before.Selfishly, wondering if you could be persuaded to do an encore. What do you think?
